Just realized today that I haven't been getting email notifications from my ISY for a while.  For the SMTP server, I have been using the same Comcast server for a few years.  After doing a little digging, I found that back in mid-March they started requiring SSL connections to send mail.  From what I see in the Console (Configuration -> Email/Notifications -> Settings/Groups), our only options are TLS or nothing.  Is there a way to use SSL?

Is anyone else using Comcast/Xfinity SMTP?

I am on Comcast/Xfinity and I have noticed getting texts from ISY has been random for the last two or three weeks or so. Have not been getting all of them as I used too. I don't know if it is related to Comcast or not but I have not made any changes to ISY since then. But as of yesterday I have been getting some, maybe 50% of them.

Started another thread in the networking group to see what others are using.  I can't even get this to work now with Yahoo or Gmail.  Pretty much dead in the water here, at least as far as email notifications go.

Apparently, there is no way around the Comcast SSL requirement and there doesn't seem to be a way to specify an SSL connection in the console.

Thanks to @Michel Kohanim for pointing me to the Wiki article showing how to configure for gmail in this post: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/26189-what-smtp-server-are-you-using/?do=findComment&comment=261371

Be careful if you turn on two factor authentication (for Gmail)! You'll need to create an app specific password.
